Chapter 62: Let's Call It Commoner
"Spam email... spam email... spam email..."
Chen Fan went through the emails on the first page, and surprisingly, they were all spam advertisements.
He clicked to the next page directly.
This time, Chen Fan finally found a normal email.
The sender claimed to be working at a certain big company, inquiring if Chen Fan was the founder of Yuming.com, and if he had any intention to sell Yuming.com.
If possible, the other party proposed to meet Chen Fan in person.
After reading the email carefully, Chen Fan felt a bit excited.
For some reason, he had a hunch that the sender of this email was likely from Wanwang.
Because in his previous life, it was around this time that Wanwang suddenly announced the acquisition of Yiyu.com.
Chen Fan was very excited and immediately typed a reply.
In the email, Chen Fan admitted that he was indeed the founder of Yuming.com, and clearly stated that he had intentions to sell Yuming.com.
Additionally, Chen Fan declined the other party's request for an in-person meeting but asked them to provide more detailed proof of identity instead.
After sending the email, Chen Fan finally could take a deep breath.
At this moment, the discussion in the dorm had transitioned from actors to what type of videos were the best.
The honest Han Xu firmly supported softcore videos, saying they were the most satisfying.
Wu Di patted his shoulder and educated him in a tone of an experienced man.
"It seems you still have some things to learn. The truly classic masterpieces are all hardcore videos."
"As an expert who has watched countless videos, I have successfully evolved to the realm of preferring uncensored over censored."
Luo Wenjie seemed to have lost ground in the previous discussion and was still unwilling to accept it, continuing to make recommendations to everyone.
"Let me tell you, I've already grown tired of these Asian and European ones."
"If you're like me, having watched countless videos, then you can reach the state of being unmoved like a pine tree. Every time, I spend nearly half a day downloading a two-
hour movie."
"But in the end, I just fast-forward through it, finishing it in five minutes, feeling utterly unsatisfied."
Luo Wenjie looked at his roommates with the gaze of a master looking down upon the masses.
"To find good movies, you have to take a differentiated approach."
"Recently, I've been studying an old northeastern auntie. Oh my god, the way she babbles on and on, it's so powerful."
Ma Xiaoshuai stared wide-eyed: "A northeastern person? How do they even babble?"
"I can't even imagine it."
Wu Di gave Luo Wenjie a thumbs up.
"Now I believe you're a pure northeastern blood lineage."
"By the way, Fourth Brother, Sister Mo came by this morning, saying she was here to thank you on someone's behalf."
"She also brought a carton of milk and a bunch of bananas."
"You weren't in the dorm at the time, so she left the stuff on your desk and left."
Chen Fan knew that Mo Siyu must have come on behalf of Xu Qiuci.
For such a small favor, the other party actually bought things to show gratitude.
This was really too polite.
It also showed that this girl, Xu Qiuci, was very considerate in her interactions with others.
The two of them were not friends, so the other party had to be so courteous.
Chen Fan didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Originally, he wanted to return the gifts, but when he walked over to his desk and saw them, he was annoyed.
The bananas had been eaten mostly, and three cartons of milk had been opened and drank.
Luo Wenjie smiled slyly.
"Just now, everyone was so engrossed in studying the works that no one wanted to go buy food, so we had to start with the bananas as an appetizer."
Chen Fan smiled bitterly: "Eat it, eat it, I give up on you guys."
At six o'clock in the evening, Chen Fan received a call from Wang Xu.
"It's done. Now there's only one problem left."
"Who should we list as the composer and performer?"
"Are you going to use your real name or an alias?"
Chen Fan shook his head decisively.
"Can't use my real name."
Wang Xu: "Then just come up with an alias."
Chen Fan thought for a moment, his gaze randomly scanning across the faces of everyone in the dorm.
"Let's call it Commoner."
"What?"
"Commoner."
Wang Xu became a bit anxious.
"Brother, this is such a good song. Don't mess around. Choosing a name like that will be a loss for your future development."
Chen Fan smiled.
"It's okay, let's just use this name."
Anyway, he didn't plan to develop in the entertainment industry. It was just a name, and he didn't care.
In Chen Fan's view, living this second life, he didn't have any particularly lofty ideals or beliefs.
His ideal was common.
That was to make money, a lot of money.
His dream was simple.
That was to marry Su Ruochu and give Su Ruochu the best of everything in this life. And also to let his family live a good life.
Chen Fan considered himself, like everyone else, to be just an ordinary person, a commoner.
"Sigh, since you've decided, then I won't bother anymore. If you regret this name in the future, don't blame me."
"Don't worry, I absolutely won't blame you."
Chen Fan smiled and asked, "About when can it be uploaded?"
"In about half an hour. You'll be able to search for it online then."
Half an hour later, Chen Fan indeed found the song by searching on Ma Xiaoshuai's computer.
He casually clicked to play it.
Upon seeing the video, Chen Fan was amused.
No wonder the other party could get it done so quickly, the MV was completely in cartoon animation form, saving costs wherever possible.
"La la la, la la la...
Time passes quickly
That smiling girl
Do you still remember me?"
As soon as the first verse started, Wu Di, who was reading on the bed, got up and looked over with a puzzled expression.
"What song is this? I've never heard it before."
"A new song? Who's singing it?"
Luo Wenjie also curiously came over.
"This song is pretty good. Sounds nice..."
In an instant, everyone in the dorm had gathered around Chen Fan.
"Commoner? What kind of weird name is that?"
Luo Wenjie didn't hold back from criticizing the singer's name.
"The more I listen to it, the catchier it gets."
"Damn, this voice sounds so familiar."
"Fourth Brother, could this be you singing?"
Chen Fan smiled, "Do you think it's possible? The voice is just a bit similar."
"I think so too." Han Xu nodded.
"If Fourth Brother had that level, he should have applied to a music academy."
Only Wu Di and Ma Xiaoshuai didn't chime in, looking at Chen Fan with a thoughtful expression.
After listening to it three times in a row, Luo Wenjie couldn't wait any longer and took out his MP3 player to download it.
"Hey, I'm planning to practice this song and go sing it under the girls' dorm building... who thinks I might cause a sensation?"
"With that broken voice of yours, you'd better not ruin this song." Ma Xiaoshuai didn't hold back his criticism.
"You're just jealous of me..."
Sun Hao smiled and patted Luo Wenjie. "Second Brother, I support you going."
"You might even become a hit."
It was unknown if Luo Wenjie could become a hit, but the song 'Miss You' by Commoner had definitely become a hit.
In just two days, the playback rate had exceeded 50,000.
And the download numbers on QQ Music were also skyrocketing.
On the new artist chart, this song barely squeezed into the rankings.
Even if it was just at the very bottom.
But that was enough for Wang Xu to excitedly call Chen Fan and celebrate for a while.
However, Wang Xu still underestimated the strength of this song.
On the third day, 'Miss You' began to steadily climb the new artist chart.
On the fourth day, it had entered the top twenty.
On the fifth day, it was number six on the weekly download chart.
On the sixth day, 'Miss You' finally broke into the top ten of the new artist chart, ranking fourth.
Most crucially, this song didn't have any promotion from start to finish, relying solely on the strength of the work itself to speak.
Seeing the results on the sixth day.
Chen Fan knew the timing was about right.
So he took a few songs he had prepared in advance and went directly to Wang Xu's music studio.
